-CURTAlN-ROLLER BRACKET AND POLE ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,309. dated March 13, 1888.

(No model.)

.To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN W. GREENE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ore gon, in the county of Holt and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Roller Brackets and Pole Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in portable curtain-roller brackets and lace-curtain-poleattach ments therefor, and thearrangement of the latter in rear of the former.

The object of my invention is to simplify and lessen the cost of the construction over existing patents, and it is an. improvement upon Letters Patent numbered, respectively, 840,438 and 340,439, granted to J. W'. Greene and A. H. Greene, hearing date April 20,1886.

To this end the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the several parts, as will be hereinafter more particularly described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, to which reference is had, and which fully illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a pcrspectiveview of my invention complete. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the brackets detached, and Fig. 3 is a side view showing a modified form of my invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several figures.

A represents a rectangular bracket-frame, which has secured to its front face at each end,

by screws a or other suitable means, brackets B, which have formed in their forward ends peculiarly-constructed angular slots b, the top of which is beveled off, as at d, to form a seat or rest for two adjustable curved bracketarms, E E, having at their free ends hooks or rests e 6, within which rests a lace-curtain pole or roller, F. These bracket-arms E E are provided with keyhole-shaped lugs G at their lower ends, which fit in key-holeshaped slots H, formed in the body or main portion of the brackets B, and when the roller F is in its normal position relative with the brackets 13 fastens and holds the arms upon the brackets B. The arms may be taken off of the brackets when necessary by throwing or adjusting them in a vertical position. The teat of the key-holeshaped lug then being brought into alignment with the keyhole-shaped slot in the brackets enables said arm to be withdrawn and disengaged from the brackets.

in Fig. 3 I have illustrated the bracket having bearing m for a curtain-roller and a key-hole or approximately key-hole shaped lug, I, which may be formed integral with or secured to the lower ends of angular arms J, the top of said arms being formed as a rest or in the shape of the letter U, which is also formed integral with the arms J for supporting the lace-curtain pole. The adjusting and locking of these arms in their different positions is accomplished by shifting them rearward or forward between the ordinary curtainpole and the bracket-frame, the lower ends of p which moving in the brackets, the lugs being out of alignment with the slots, tightly lock the arms, and when they are in the position shown in dotted lines they can readily be withdrawn from the brackets. The brackets have secured to their inner sides projections J, which support the arms J when in the position shown in dotted lines, Fig. 3. To the under side of the brackets is secured in any suitable manner a strap or spring, L, having secured to it at its free end a lug, Z, which drops into an eye, i, upon the end of a screw, which is screwed into a window-frame and fastens and supports the bracket-frame with the brackets thereon to the window-frame.

From the foregoing description, taken in My device is simple in construction, inexpensive, and durable, and occupies but small space or room, thus allowing a great many to be transported at one time from the factory.

What I claim is- 1. The combination, with a portable bracketframe, A, and brackets B, provided with roller-bearings, of the adjustable sup1r 0rting-arms having hooks or rests at their upper ends and keyhole-shaped lugs at their lower ends and fitted in key hole-shaped slots in said brackets B, and a curtain-roller supported in the said roller-bearings, all substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with the portable bracket-frame A, having the keyhole or double keyhole slot K therein, and projections J secured upon the inner side of the brackets, of the angular supporting-arms J, provided with the lugs I and rests, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN \V. GREENE.
